| [INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] One of the "most horrific movements in the history of the world" is strengthening its links with Isis, officials have warned. Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , a Nigerian terrorist group waging a bloody insurgency across parts of Africa, swore allegiance to the so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... last year and co-operation between the two organizations is increasing. Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, commander of US special operations in Africa, said the groups clearly share "tactics, techniques and procedures," from the way they conduct complex ambushes and set improvised bombs, to how they launch high-profile attacks on hotels. A "large cache of different types of weapons" including machine guns intercepted by Chadian authorities on its way to Boko Haram from Libya. "You can, I think, draw a conclusion," Brig Gen Bolduc said, suggesting the weapons may have been sent by Isis from its strongholds along Libya’s coastline. He called the Lake Chad Basic region where Boko Haram is launching its insurgency as "ground zero" the fight against extremism in Africa. |
